Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Lexington who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
